Coade Stone Caryatids

London, England

On London’s St. Pancras Church, there are some odd statues, and it’ll take a while to figure out what’s wrong with them.

Back in the 19th century, a sculptor was asked to make 8 caryatids (sculpted female figures that serve as architectural supports), out of Coade stone.

He spent 3 years sculpting them, only to find that he made them too tall to fit between their platform and the roof. So he cut off a part of their torso, making the statues have disproportionally long legs.
